When you’re in a class, your only job is to soak in as much information as you can. Of course, it gets to be a bit boring, so we space out and start doodling. Then when it comes time to study for a test or writing a paper, we go back to our notes and find that there’s nothing useful there. This is undoubtedly a problem, and means you have …

Traveling for work can be fun from time to time, but the downside is that you’re always stuck on your laptop. It’s just not the same as the home setup where you have your overpowered PC, two or more monitors, and a mouse and keyboard that are comfortable to use for more than a few hours. While you can’t bring all the comforts of home with you, that doesn’t mean …

Bringing your lunch to school was not exactly the cool kid thing to do, but as adults we’re jealous of the people who have their lives put together enough to think ahead that far. If you don’t pack a lunch for your grown-up job, you’re stuck eating protein bars or fast food, with not many healthy options that don’t cost an arm and a leg otherwise. If you want to …

Having a planner to keep track of the daily and weekly hubbub makes life a little more tolerable.

Building blocks as toys are always cool to have around, as you can fall back on your imagination (as well as your budget, of course) when it comes to constructing one of the many different kinds of structures or figures. Well, whenever the amount of pressure and stress at the office starts to build up and you would like to find a place to vent your frustrations, forget the stress …

Sometimes you just need to stop what you’re doing and take a coffee break. That little moment of solace can help your brain reorganize what tasks you’re facing, and give you time away from a project so you can face it again with fresh eyes (and a caffeine boost). If that’s often why you’re drinking either coffee or tea, then you likely want the experience surrounding it to be as …

When you hardly have any time to breathe or think about something that’s not work-related, you very likely live on caffeine. The way in which we take our fix varies from person to person.
